Recently the new version of Raspbian was released which is already available to be downloaded and installed on your Raspberry Pi. Through a statement this new update which contains quite a few bug fixes.
Raspbian is the official system for the Raspberry Pi, This is a Debian-based system built especially for this little pocket computer. Technically the operating system is an unofficial Debian armhf port for the Raspberry Pi processor (CPU), with optimized support.
The distribution use LXDE as the desktop and Chromium as the web browser. In addition, it contains development tools such as IDLE for the Python or Scratch programming language, and different examples of games using the Pygame modules.
Si They came to use this distribution for the Raspberry Pi, they will remember that at the beginning of this it simply positions us within the desktop environment without any information.
On most Linux distributions, when you first log in to the system, a welcome screen and even a setup wizard will run.
What's new in the new Raspbian update
That is why now this new Raspbian update includes a setup wizard, this will run every time Raspbian is started for the first time, this wizard will automatically guide the user through basic operations system configuration.
As well in this new update the location settings which you can access through the main Raspberry Pi configuration application executes the configurations in separate ways by which we must configure each one such as the location, the keyboard, the time zone and the WiFi country.
The first page of the wizard should make this a little easier- Once you choose the country, the wizard will show you the languages and time zones used in that country.
When you have selected yours, the wizard it will have to take care of all necessary international adjustments. This includes the WiFi country, which you must configure before you can use wireless connectivity on a Raspberry Pi 3B +.
Recommended software
In this new Raspbian update a new tool called "Recommended Software" was included which, as its name indicates, makes recommendations for applications that we can install on Raspbian.
From the point of view of the people behind the development of Raspbian the inclusion of this new tool can be quite useful. For what they comment the following of this tool:
In recent years, several third-party companies have generously offered to provide software for Pi users, in some cases granting free licenses for software that typically requires a license fee. We have always included these applications in our standard picture, as people may never find out otherwise, but perhaps the applications are not of interest to all users.
To try and keep the image size low and to avoid filling the menus with applications that not everyone wants, we present a recommended software program that you can find in the Preferences menu.
Finally, of the other applications that received updates, we found the Chromium browser and a change was made because replaced the Xpdf PDF document viewer with a program called qpdfView, which is a greatly improved PDF viewer.
It has a more modern user interface, makes pages faster, and preloads and caches future pages while you're reading, which should mean fewer wasted pauses waiting for the next page to load.
